All athleticism, no skill. Had nothing to fall back on once he lost the athleticism due to injures. He got signed by the Bobcats, two season ago and was cut during training camp.

Him and Lamar Odom are two of the most talented player i think have entered the NBA the past 15 years. Dunno what happened to them.

I think the Blazers tried to block him from re-entering the league a few years back because if the Grizzlies signed, his salary(from the Blazers) would have counted against the Blazers cap. He did end up playing for the Grizz though, dont know what happened after that.

Dajuan Wagner was very good too. But injuries fcked his career up. Dude was made out of glass. He should have gone the "Lance Armstrong", "Barry Bonds" route though to fix that up. that's what Wade did after his body broke down on him.

:what: You tripping he was nice tho. Could've did some big things but that injury fukked up his knee. He def had talent tho

:whew:

Uncertain grounds
Miles was turning the corner then his knee bust. This was made fact because he still signed with a few teams after injury..when he had no athleticism.. More than one team wouldnt have signed him with all the previous red flags and the injury if thia wasnt the case.

Miles could have been what rudy gay is now..easily.

:heh:

How in the holy fukk was Darius Miles one of the most talented players to ever come in the league?

This is one of the wildest posts I've seen on here, no lie.

you realize that talent dosn't equal great player right?

Miles was 6"9, very good at handling the ball, quick, supremely athletic, great passing ability. He just never seemed to work on his game.

When I was a kid I met Darius Miles in his first or second year at a Sonics game and breh signed my t-shirt and I still got that shyt in a box somewhere. Had a ton of potential, was sad to see him bust like that :to:

I'm pretty sure it was ulcerative colitis that ended Wagner's career. The injuries wouldn't have been as big of an issue if dude could have actually kept his colon.
